Warning: This tip is only for the most advanced users. Tweaking the Registry is very risky. Always back up the Registry before you
make any changes. Windows 95 truncates filenames by adding a tilde (~) and a numeric character to the end of a file. For example, web page.txt appears as webpag~1.txt. To specify how filenames are truncated, select the Start menu, Run, then enter RegEdit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/control/FileSystem, then right-click somewhere in the right pane. On the pop-up menu, click New, then Binary Value. Type NameNumericTail, and press Enter. Next, double-click the new value and type 0 (zero) as the complete binary value. Now click OK, then restart your computer. Top
